“Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hard rockers Bobaflex release their impressive fourth album, Hell In My Heart, after a tumultuous four years that saw their former label go bankrupt and the band go through numerous lineup changes. But these trials and tribulations seem to have only made the group stronger. The record opens with a deathbed confession that quickly blasts into the engine-revving anthem “Chemical Valley” and continues on a rampaging path with few slow points. Sounding like a streamlined and angrier Avenged Sevenfold made for biker bars, Bobaflex deliver plenty of the swaggering punk attitude with which they first burst onto the scene in 1998. And they have reason to swagger: Hell is a solid hard-rock outing with plenty of memorable tunes. Standouts include the serpentine “Slave,” the foot-stomping “Bury Me With My Guns On,” and the full-throttle “Dangerous.” But the real highlight–and surprise–is the record closer, a great cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s”

“My first introduction to this quintet out of West Virginia came back in late 2007, with the killer (albeit mellow) single “Home”. Since then, the band has endured line-up changes, and became a victim of the highly publicized TVT Records bankruptcy. In the dog-eat-dog world that is the record industry, success is inevitably preceded by disappointment and persistence, and now that the first two are out of the way Bobaflex is poised to make their presence known on the active rock radar. The latest offering, Hell In My Heart, runs the gamut of the diverse musical talents of Bobaflex. From the first 30 seconds of the opening song, “Chemical Valley”, you realize that you are in for a pulse-pounding adventure. Little do we know that this multi-dimensional album is much more than meets the eye.”

“ Bobaflex was simply amazing. Some of the highlights for me included the song that put them on the map, Better Than Me, Home, Rise, and my personal favorite Bobaflex tune, Bury Me With My Guns. Watching the McCoy brothers, Shaun and Marty, switch off between guitars and vocals, was a refreshing site. It’s also a testament to the talent that this band truly has. Never missing a beat, the band switched vocalists once again, as bassist Jerod Mankin took the lead on The Sound Of Silence. Yes, that Sound Of Silence”

“Who needs a pair of boots when you can be buried with your guns on, right? West Virginia rockers Bobaflex embody all that is red-blooded and American with their new single ‘Bury Me With My Guns On’ off the album ‘Hell in My Heart.’ It’s not exactly an NRA anthem as much as it is a metaphor for protecting oneself in this life and beyond, body and soul. ”
